An electrically controlled spectacle includes a spectacle frame and optoelectronic lenses housed in the frame. The lenses include a left lens and a right lens, each of the optoelectrical lenses having a plurality of states, wherein the state of the left lens is independent of the state of the right lens. The electrically controlled spectacle also includes a control unit housed in the frame, the control unit being adapted to control the state of each of the lenses independently.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to distributed virtual reality. In examples, a depth buffer and a color buffer are generated at a presenter device as part of rendering a virtual environment. The virtual environment may be perceived by a user in three dimensions (3D), for example via a virtual reality (VR) headset. Virtual environment information comprising the depth buffer and the color buffer may be transmitted to a viewer device, where it is used to render the virtual environment for display to a viewer. For example, the viewer may similarly view the virtual environment in 3D via a VR headset. A viewer perspective (e.g., from which the virtual environment is generated for the viewer) may differ from a presenter perspective and may be manipulated by the viewer, thereby decoupling the viewer's perception of the virtual environment from that of the presenter.

An information processing apparatus obtains information designating a virtual viewpoint in a frame of a virtual viewpoint video. The apparatus obtains information designating a subject, among a plurality of subjects, to be displayed in the frame of the virtual viewpoint video. The apparatus outputs control information including virtual viewpoint information for specifying the virtual viewpoint for the frame of the virtual viewpoint video and setting information for specifying the subject to be displayed in the frame.

There is provided with an imaging system. The imaging system has a plurality of image capturing apparatuses. The plurality of image capturing apparatuses are configured to obtain captured images to generate a free-viewpoint image. The plurality of image capturing apparatuses include a first group of one or more image capturing apparatuses facing a first gaze point and a second group of one or more image capturing apparatuses facing a second gaze point different from the first gaze point.

System and method to (1) directly capture data-volume-reduced or compressed color images or video image frames by a camera system compared to those from conventional color camera systems with the same image resolution, and (2) retrieve uncompressed color images or video image frames for display, visualization, or other image/video processing at the end user side.

A method for applying power in a plurality of pulses to the projection source to control the projection source to emit coherent light during an exposure interval comprising at least two sub-intervals, the applied power causing the projection source to have different temperatures during first and second sub-intervals of the at least two sub-intervals; and emitting light from the projection source, wherein the projection source emits light having different wavelengths during the first and second sub-intervals in accordance with the different temperatures of the projection source.

In one embodiment, range data is combined with an image in order to create a stereo image from the single collected image. An apparatus receives image data associated with a geographic location and range data associated with the geographic location. The range data may be a point cloud. At least one perspective image is formed based on the image data and the range data. The perspective image has a viewpoint different than single collected image. The apparatus generates a stereo image from the at least one perspective image. The stereo image appears to have depth. The at least one perspective image may include two images, each offset by a distance to estimate eye separation.

A three-dimensional scanning system includes: a camera configured to capture images; a processor; and memory coupled to the camera and the processor, the memory being configured to store: the images captured by the camera; and instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: control the camera to capture one or more initial images of a subject from a first pose of the camera; compute a guidance map in accordance with the one or more initial images to identify one or more next poses; control the camera to capture one or more additional images from at least one of the one or more next poses; update the guidance map in accordance with the one or more additional images; and output the images captured by the camera to generate a three-dimensional model.

A wound image capture method that uses self color compensation to improve color consistency of the captured image and reliability of color-based wound detection. The method uses the skin tone of parts of the patient's own body for color calibration and compensation. In a data registration process, multiple parts of a new patient's body are imaged as baseline images and color data of the baseline images are registered in the system as reference color data. During subsequent wound image capture and wound assessment process, the same parts of the patient's body are imaged again as baseline images, and the wound and its surrounding areas are also imaged. Color data of the newly capture baseline images are compared to the registered reference color data and used to perform color compensation for the wound image.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method and apparatus for generating a three-dimensional surface. In one embodiment, there is a method for generating a three-dimensional surface. The method includes capturing a plurality of images of a target object with at least two cameras, the target object illuminated by at least two sets of red-green-blue (RGB) lights positioned in an array about the target object and generating a three-dimensional surface of the target object by iteratively reconstructing a surface estimate of the target object and aligning images of the target object using motion estimation until the images converge, wherein the images are processed in n-frame intervals.
